Four venues, not one
CES spreads across the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Venetian Expo and Aria. Which one you are in decides everything downstream — the loading dock, the delivery window, the labour rules, even whether your crates can reach the stand on a pallet jack. Do not commission a booth before you know your hall.
Over 4,000 exhibitors
That is the number that should shape the design. At that density nobody reads a wall of text from the aisle: what carries is a name legible at fifteen feet and one object people stop for. Everything else is detail you pay for and nobody sees.
January means a tight turnaround
CES opens the first week of January, which means the build is prepared over the holidays and freight moves in a fortnight when carriers are at their slowest. A December order is not impossible — our workshop can manufacture in a day — but the truck is the constraint, not the workshop.
